My cars - Monaco / French Riviera

Past to present, part 19.






I got the car with a small dedication plate. (name has of course been edited)

Ferrari 360 Spider F1

 

Thank you, I agree. The car was really something special.

I am not really in to old cars. I buy new cars and drive them a lot, and sell them.

I am a self made guy, no money from papa/family here.... meaning that when I want to buy a new car, I will sell the old one make more money and then buy a new.


I have a LOT of friends, but none of them are involved.....ONLY me and ALL mine



In general I can say that most people here, don't actually STAY here all year long. People might be resident here but most are only here maybe 6 months a year. All depending on your business etc.

I think Monaco is a veery small place, with a lot of old people as well. I personally spend more time a lot time in Nice, which is a real city with much more life.

I my case it is also because the airport is in Nice, and most of our clients arrive here.

Monaco is in my opinion not a place you wanna stay all year long.

 

So true!
Monaco is cool and interesting, but not for hanging around the whole year.

MB, have you been to Le Bistro du Fromager in Nice? We went there before Top Marques. Awesome, if you like cheese

I just can post recent pictures of classy cars.

 

Yes you were living here while you went to school. How long was it my friend?

No cheese is one of a few things I don't like..... But it could be a good idea for others.

Post up more pics, I know you have some.

My car was in what you today would refer to as a development program.

It had up-to-date technology with many software upgrades and a lot of pieces from the Challenge Stradale.

Ferrari S.p.A uses special client cars for development of future models.

This Spider was insanely LOUD!!!! THE loudest I have heard.

While making turns around Monaco with some friends visiting one evening, I was suddenly stopped by the Police and was asked to follow them to the station. People from the buildings around where we drove had called the police and complained about the noise..... After apologizing... and promising never to "test drive" this "prototype" as he called it, the police boss let me go with a warning.... one one condition (and because he knew who I was)....that I got the H... out of Monaco for the night.... Police are more strict here than you might think. And in all fairness, we did make a lot of noise.....


I sold it after around 3.5 - 4 years and 43.000 km.....



Pics taken near Menton.






Ferrari 360 Spider F1 - Challenge Stradale

 

^ Nice!!! Where is that? Up by the cemetery? (I pretty much grew up in Menton)

 

Thank you !! Menton is an awesome place to live...and grow up

You are going to miss it this summer....... (I am teasiiiiing you)



Pics was taken at the rest place at the Avia gasoline station along the Autoroute A8.

 

Nice pics MB, you have a nice example of a 360 (not particularly my favourite Ferrari) it looks better than the 360 modena(coupe).

 

Thanks in its time it was a very very nice car.

 

360 Spider Challenge Stradale?
